Planning for a trip to the Arctic circle area. Addressing opportunities to improve reliability include upgraded injectors, new valve cover seals, inspection of starter motor and solenoid, upgraded clamps for carrying motorcycle, in-cab satellite phone, exhaust fan for container, upgraded 12v house batteries, upgraded 24v starter battery system, chains for mud and snow, repair of main fuel tank gauge, enhanced LED lighting of container, wheel bearing check and service on all wheels, and so forth. making good progress. trying to follow the military standard of simple, robust, functional. luxury doesn't have a place here. learning a lot and impressed with the build standards: the military works with an entirely different budget and build standard than i have ever seen on civilian side.
